2 Loosen the screws and remove the protection plate.
3 Insert the black -48V and red RTN wires through the power wire fixture (see
Figure 6).
4 Connect the black -48V power wire from the data center DC power source to the
terminal on the FortiGate-5050 power input connector labelled (-DC in).
5 Connect the red RTN return wire from data center RTN to the terminal on the
FortiGate-5050 power input connector labelled RTN.
6 Make sure the power wires are secured to the chassis using the power wire fixture
and tie wraps if required.
7 If required, label the black wire -48V.
